Jimmy Carter treated for dehydration during Habitat build

ATLANTA, Georgia -- Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is being treated for dehydration in Canada, where he's helping build houses for Habitat for Humanity.

Habitat for Humanity said in a statement that the 92-year-old Carter was "dehydrated working in the hot sun" at a build site in Winnipeg on Thursday. Carter told Habitat officials he is OK, and encouraged volunteers to keep building.

Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, are in the middle of a weeklong project building houses in various Canadian cities.

President and Mrs @GeorgeHWBush wishing President Carter a quick recovery today: "God bless him, and we hope he is fine."
